Anyone have one of these?

I picked one up and am having the hardest time installing the driver into my windows 7 box. I downloaded the driver and followed the instructions but its still not recognizing it in device manager.

I tried looking around for a solution but it seems to be escaping me. Hopefully an ATOTer has one on his xobox one and tried it on his pc.


Pulling my hair out for a while now.

Figured it out. removing the older thrustmaster install and taking out all the usb peripherals seemed to do the trick.

Wheel was also unsusable until I did a Firmware update.

AMAZING!!!

Best wheel I have ever had. Force feedback is so good I shaved 30 seconds off my Nordshleife time after getting used to it in Assetto.

Snap oversteer is a little harder to recover but the feedback from the road is the closesest thing to the real thing that I ever tried. My buddy has a Fanatec and I have to say the motors are quieter and smoother.

Would have prefered a six speed and a clutch but I plugged in my T500 pedals and they worked fine so all I have to do is wait on the upgraded parts they make for these to come out.

Better than my g25 and the g27 in everything but steering wheel quality. I plan on getting one of the different wheels when they come out as well.

All in all in Assetto Corsa its the best sim experience I have ever had.

Really good wheel!

Hope it lasts


Any of you guys run wheel setups?
